Most Likely to Murder

I tried watching this film because I am a fan of the actors. All of whom are talented and captivating. The bummer here is the story and pace of the film. The murder is only the facade of a plot used to show a high school reunion story that just wasn't filmed at a banquet hall. I love Adam Pally and Didi Conn is 100% charming. Those two are the only reason this zero got three stars.

...honestly, it's neither. Really, there's not a funny joke in the movie. There's a lot of angst, a guy down on his luck, with honestly no redeeming qualities, the acting is lousy, the jokes aren't funny, and the mystery isn't the least bit intriguing. It left me feeling cheated, and I watched it for free. Avoid this at all costs.

The point is that the protagonist is a garbage person. So many reviews saying "Adam Pally is so unlikable" that's the point. It's not boring, it's funny enough, it's less than 2 hours long. It does its job of being a comedy murder mystery, and you really don't get that genre at all, so give it a try

Adam Pally stars here as Billy, who's returning to his hometown of Valley Stream, Long Island, after a number of years away for Thanksgiving and to pack his things, as his parents are selling the house and moving to Sante Fe. When he was in high school there he was extremely popular, but also a prankster and a bully, even known as the King of Valley Stream.

However, Billy soon finds out that his schtick of the past has worn thin and his friends have matured for the most part and moved on with their lives. The plot will mostly center on Billy's suspicions that he's seen his neighbor (Vincent Kartheiser), who's now dating Billy's ex-girlfriend (Rachel Bloom) ,commit a murder.

Although this movie received rather glowing reviews from pro critics, I really was hard pressed to find the humor here, and I wondered if we all watched the same film. To me, the humor just fell flat or was just mean-spirited or even cringe inducing at times.

All in all, maybe this is a demographic thing as others may have thought it was funny but I was happy when it finally ended.

I've never taken the time to review a movie before. But don't trust the low scores! It's a decent crime/comedy movie with good acting
